RVD in talks with TNA and CM punk heel turn

Quote :

RVD radio returns tomorrow night at blogtalkradio.com/rvdradio.

Rob Van Dam was a guest on The LAW Sunday night with Dan "The Mouth" Lovranski and Jason Agnew on Sirius 98 Hardcore Sports Radio. During the interview, Van Dam talked about a number of topics, including RVD TV, Chris Masters returning to WWE, Tommy Dreamer winning the ECW title and more. While he did talk about enjoying his time away from the wrestling business, it's interesting to note that during the interview, he revealed that TNA Wrestling has been in "constant contact" with him as recently as this past week.

Scheduled as the main event of the WWE Supershows in Salisbury, MD on July 24th and Wildwood, NJ on July 25th is John Cena and Rey Mysterio vs. Big Show and CM Punk. This could mean that they are going with the CM Punk heel turn, which has been speculated on since the end of the Extreme Rules PPV.

im not a fan of punk as a face, but i have seen some of his "summer of punk" work in ROH where he was a top dominant heel.

i sincerely hope he does turn heel, but i would like him to be like he was similar to his ROH heel work, and not a weakling riding his luck type of heel which i can actually see happening.

his straight edge gimmick would be great as heel. its boring for a face gimmick and too much goody-two-shoes. you can just imagine how worked up he cud get a crowd by saying hes straight edge and so much better than them all or something to that effect.


on a different note, the speculation with RVD/TNA is boring now

Punk was a great heel in ROH with his i'm better than you gimmick and he was getting so boring as a face.
If rvd does finally end up going to TNA i can see there being an ECW stable with Raven, Stevie Richards and Tazz.(and Rhino possibly although he looks set for a feud with Jesse Neal.)

yeah i can see that happening too. its all too predictable and i wouldnt put it past tna at the moment

I can see what you mean with Punk,He could build so much heat by going out there and saying I'm straight-edge,I'm free of everything yet I'm still better than all of you(would also love a quip saying he wasn't banging the bosses daughter but couldn't see that happening somehow) Or another way he could would be like full on dark,gothic heel charachter that could feud with taker
